CrazyIvan 0 #1 April 29, 2003 Any of you have seen one of them?, try them or demoed? If you have, any feedback about it?, comparisons to ProTrack? This is what I'm talking about in case you don't know: http://www.alti-2.com/neptune.htm__________________________________________ Blue Skies and May the Force be with you.

Clownburner 0 #2 April 29, 2003 The word was they were supposed to start shipping around the beginning of May, so I'd guess it'd be any time now, if they're on track.. I'd like to see one also.7CP#1 | BTR#2 | Payaso en fuego Rodriguez "I want hot chicks in my boobies!"- McBeth Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kevin922 0 #9 April 29, 2003 I already got mine on order :) Can't wait.. Some things I do know about it : It records based on time, not on jump # forinstance where the protrak records detailed info for the last 10 jumps, the neptune records detailed info till it can't anymore (not sure the total amount of time it can record).. this is important with birdman jumps as some of our jumps exceed the record time for the protrak. The software will be out in september but they don't know if it will be free or not, you beam your info via infra red port. Software updates to the firmware are free, again it is done through infra red port. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was just asking someone the other day and he said the same thing and he already has a list of people wanting them.He did say it would be a better product than the pro-track and planned on getting one himself.

SkydiveMonkey 0 #19 April 30, 2003 when more pc's have bluetooth then maybe they will, until then, serial ports are the way forward. cost of a cable is less than a bluetooth dongle____________________ Say no to subliminal messages Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SkydiveMonkey 0 #21 April 30, 2003 either way, still cheaper than bluetooth. and why do you need 12 MB/s + when a Ir diode on something like that won't be able to transmit at those speeds? ____________________ Say no to subliminal messages Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

f1freak 0 #23 April 30, 2003 Mark my words Bluetooth will be the standard..... i mean already you have major auto, Photography, wireless communications (cell phones) are totally going with bluetooth.... I will pay the 30.00 bucks to get a usb bluetooth adapter now, they will be standard in pc's in no time....HAVE FUN... ...JUST DONT DIE Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SkydiveMonkey 0 #24 April 30, 2003 No doubt, when bluetooth is standard in 99% of pc's out there. Bear in mind most people won't have it on their pc, even though all NEW machines might have it ____________________ Say no to subliminal messages Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
f1freak 0 #25 April 30, 2003 yeah, but say 1.5 - 2 years.... i mean 802.11b is awsome (my house runs on it) but i still think modern manufactors need to build in the new technology i mean how cool would it be to just set the helmet down and pull the data...... no fuss at all....HAVE FUN... ...JUST DONT DIE Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
